Audience
The Orange Book is intended for transmission and distribution line
designers and staff responsible for maintenance of overhead lines,
interpretation of line failures, and correction of poor designs.
Application and Value
The new Orange Book gives todays transmission engineers
ready access to fundamental information on the mechanics of
conductor motion as well as the latest developments in technology
and practices. Although the book is a reference rather than a
design manual, the overhead line designer should find it helpful
in several ways:
Recognizing and properly identifying cyclic conductor motion
when it occurs
Anticipating the circumstances in which it may be expected
Becoming familiar with protection methods currently in use
Understanding the theoretical principles (where known) upon
which currently used protection methods operate
Evaluating the cost effectiveness of current or proposed
protection methods
